5 CommentsMackenzie Now {18 Months}
It is so hard to believe that Mackenzie turned eighteen months old on Sunday, April 1. Eighteen months!! She was just a little bean this time two years ago, and now she is blossoming into the sweetest, funniest little girl. We had a great weekend as a family. We made pancakes on Saturday, and Mackenzie got...

1 CommentBack Story
I’m not sure lately how to start writing. I have the urge, and I need the creative outlet, but I haven’t been able to make myself begin. Do you ever feel like that? It has been so long that picking up where I left off feels impossible, and starting right here, right now lands us...

3 CommentsHome Again
Hello, friends. It’s been a while. Did you miss us? We’ve been traveling the world over (or so it seems) this week. Last Wednesday, Chris, Mackenzie, and I flew out to Colorado Springs to celebrate my brother-in-law David’s marriage to his sweetheart. We were so thrilled to be a part of welcoming Heidi into the...

We made ebelskivers with dark chocolate for breakfast, played at the pool with Mackenzie, shopped for groceries, and then Chris made the best salmon...

4 CommentsBefore and Behind
When Mackenzie was six months old, we established a bed time routine with her that includes reading a Bible story, talking about the story, and praying together. For the last few nights, we’ve been reading about Jesus’ death and resurrection. Baby Bible stories are written to be incredibly brief, but Chris and I have kind...

5 CommentsAtlanta Trip Recap
Our trip to Atlanta last weekend was really fun, in spite of us all having the Worst Summer Cold Ever. So much has happened this week, though, that I’m just now posting a little recap. We got into Atlanta around midnight on Friday and went straight to bed. The next morning we were up early,...

No CommentsHappy Birthday to My One and Only
Yesterday we celebrated my sweet husband’s 29th birthday. It was a grown-up, dad-of-an-infant kind of birthday, with dinner served quickly and sandwiched in between Mackenzie’s dinner and bedtime. For dessert I made dark chocolate brownies served with mint chocolate chip ice cream… which we ate leisurely (ha!) at the kitchen table, in between fussy baby...

1 CommentSnow Day
We had a beautiful snow day in Nashville today. The accumulation wasn’t a record by any means, but it was enough to get out and play in. I was so much fun bundling Mackenzie up in her snow suit and the hat I made for her. I can’t believe it already fits! Chris was determined...

No CommentsEditing My Life
Today I ran across a blog post by a photographer acquaintance of mine of her living room all dressed up and decorated for the holidays, and I felt a nasty, sneaky, sickening feeling creep into my heart. “I want that living room!” I thought. And the life that goes with it, too, please. A perfectly...
